Title: Asking about progesterone and feeling in legs?

So I was talking with a friend of mine when she mentioned that she was going to ask about adding P since she's been on all the normal stuff for 8 months. I thought about asking but wasn't sure if it should be added in after you've already been on for a few months or if you could just go into it early as well seeing as how I'm about to start month #2.
Also I know that blood clots are a worry on hrt and I noticed a weird feeling in my legs, mainly my knees where it just feels sort of " tight " in certain areas. The thing is it's not really all that painful, it doesn't really interfere with anything and I only really notice it when I bend my knees really close occasionally. I imagine if it were blood clots that it'd be more painful and I'd have other symptoms as well but that's been about it. Of course I'm going to ask about it when I go Monday, but maybe someone else experienced this?

Blood clots on legs usually show dark spots.. hope that helps? If you have a clot, just don't play with it, and have a dr check it out..

Try googling homan's sign test and use it on yourself. If you feel a sharp pain then you should go see your doc.

Well I woke up today! So that's a plus
The feeling is still there although I don't think it's gotten any worse. Just gotta hold out until monday.
